What To Do

1. Check What's Auto-Loaded

These files load automatically via Claude Code's native mechanisms:

Via .claude/rules/ (deterministic):

•.claude/rules/total-recall.md — memory protocol

Via CLAUDE.local.md (deterministic):

•CLAUDE.local.md — working memory

2. Check What Exists On Disk

Read and report on what memory files are present:

Schema:

•memory/SCHEMA.md — exists?

Daily Logs:

•Today's log (memory/daily/[today].md) — exists? Entry count?
•Yesterday's log — exists?

Registers:

•List all .md files in memory/registers/ with entry counts

Archive:

•List files in memory/archive/

3. Display

code

Memory Context — Current Session
─────────────────────────────────

Auto-loaded (deterministic):
  .claude/rules/total-recall.md   ✓  Protocol rules
  CLAUDE.local.md                 ✓  Working memory ([N] words)

On disk:
  memory/SCHEMA.md                ✓  Protocol docs
  memory/daily/[today].md         ✓  [N] entries
  memory/daily/[yesterday].md     ✓  [N] entries
  memory/registers/open-loops.md  ✓  [N] active items

Available registers:
  people.md           [N] entries
  projects.md         [N] entries
  decisions.md        [N] entries
  preferences.md      [N] entries
  tech-stack.md       [N] entries

Archive: [N] files

Hooks:
  SessionStart    [configured/not configured]
  PreCompact      [configured/not configured]

4. Highlight Gaps

If expected files are missing:

code

Missing:
  ✗ CLAUDE.local.md — run /recall-init to create
  ✗ No daily log for today — will be created on first /recall-write

5. Quick Actions

code

Use /recall-search <query> to pull context from any tier.
Use /recall-status for memory health metrics.
